Multimillions fund brain research
Outgoing university President Harvey Weingarten announced Friday a $39 million gift from Calgary Flames hockey team owner Harley Hotchkiss to the school's Hotchkiss Brain Institute.
It will be combined with $25 million pledged by Texas oilman T. Boone Pickens to hire scientists and fund mental health research, The Calgary Herald reported.
Hotchkiss, who gave $10 million to the institute in 2004, said he's sure his money will be put to good use for research and clinical activities. "I believe it's going to be well looked after," he said.
President Weingarten, who will step down Jan. 1, headed the university during a period of dramatic growth that saw huge capital expansion and efforts to raise the school's research profile, the Herald said.
